Families sit together, groups spread out 6 feet. every other seat blocked off in the boxes, every other urinal/stall blocked off, no concessions, water fountains closed, bottle water allowed, no opposing fans.

It'll be a very odd game if I had to guess...but at least it's football!

My best guess is who gets the ball last, if there is enough time left, wins.

Of course the A-State coaches, players , fans, everybody associated with their program, as always, expects to win, and that has always been the case.

You are" tiger high" to them, nothing will ever change that, the only thing different is they ARE the best team in Arkansas, and have been for a while, and they are talented enough to do what you are doing. They are more than talented enough to beat you.

The thing that is different about you, even though your arrogance will not allow yourself to acknowledge this is a real rivalry, which has gotten you beat a lot in this series, is you are really good, and the best team in Tennessee, and have been for a while.

Your team is talented, well coached, winners, and is just the better team, but they know that, and still EXPECT to win .

This game is a little different, but in some ways the same.....enjoy.

their games
Lol, you are a troll that no one here takes seriously. Nothing will ever change that.

That does not bother me, because it is like getting banned from the CUSA forum here for being called a troll saying they would regret taking the teams they did in realignment, and they would be behind the SBC sooner rather than later.

Or getting in hot water a few years ago on the SBC forum for saying A-State would have the most talented roster of talent in the SBC using 247 as the standard candle, , but would underachieve under Anderson.

Basically a troll in sports is someone who says something a majority of the fanatics that follow a team don't want to hear.

No they did not become the Boise of the South that their AD though they would become a decade ago, and in fact much to their fans chagrin, have been identified as one of the most underachieving programs at the FBS level the last few year, but they have capitalized on the sustained if not spectacular success they have had to positioned themselves well going forward.

Like I told the A-State fans on their largest message board, I GUARANTEED the Memphis fans that after they played you they they WOULD be impressed with your talent.

Your HC.....maybe not so much.

All we know going into 2020 is they are the best team in Arkansas, the most talented team in the SBC....again.

Just have to see if the absence of the "cancer" that showed up at the start of the last three seasons was in fact the reason they underachieved, as most insiders believe.

All I know for sure is that you will be impressed with their talent.

I will also GUARANTEE the Memphis fans that go to the next game in Jonesboro that not only will you be impressed with their talent, you will be impressed with their updated facilities. which are among the very best in G5.

Their HC, who knows.

you seem to have quite the chip on your shoulder...as everyone has said we'll give ASU the respect their due but we have just as much confidence in our squad coming off a Cotton Bowl. As for Ryan Silverfield, he has former successful HC's like Pete Lembo and Mike MacIntyre to lean on plus a good recruiting class.

What chip.

I know how good their program and talent is, and yours, and while posters remember me and their Boise goal, I'm also the guy that told Razorback fans a decade ago that both they and Memphis were going to be top 25 teams, when they were not.

That you have been, was expected, that they have not, was not , but fortunately everyone agrees their failure was not because they did not have the talent., Keep any of the three previous head coaches six years and they would have dominated the SBC, and been in the hunt like you, or at least AppSt.

Of course they are saying that the battle with cancer obscured just how good they were the last three years, and I'm not disagreeing at all, it certainly would have distracted me, but I am directing everyone's attention(here and on the Razorbacks site) to their talent.

Fully expect their HC to say they have the talent to beat any team on their schedule, and he is probably right.

Know that will impress you when you play them. I fully expect how you, and AppSt actually play will impress them.

Will spend the next of week looking at Michigan, one of the the four team along with Memphis, Louisiana, and AppSt, they are expecting to be underdogs to.

Not sure about Michigan yet, but will be able to inform Razorback fans with some confidence they have more than enough "talent" to beat Memphis, Louisiana, and AppSt.

If they could go .500 against those four they could have a very good season.

Then I'm going to look at UCA and UAPB.
